Hi Chris and Holly. A really gorgeous day here today. We had a wonderful time at my brother's house. I made a huge fruit tray and my special strawberry dip to go with it. I had watermelon cantelope strawberries pineapple and grapes on it. Everything tasted really great. Jim (my brother) grilled chicken over charcoal and it was wonderful. We had macaroni salad cucumber salad baked beans and grilled vegetables. The chicken smelled so good while it was cooking on the grill. It made us all hungry!- I opened up the fruit tray and we were all snacking on the fresh fruit and dip while we were waiting on the chicken.

So glad you and your family had a great day as well. Your hotdogs and hamburgers sound good.

Holly's table is really pretty. When it comes to drawing I have no talent.

Hope you all have a great evening.

Hugs
John and Debbie
